Introducing the Healthcare Property Trust

Transcription

1 Introducing the Healthcare Property Trust The Healthcare Property Trust opened in 1999 to capitalise on Australia s ageing population and growing demands for healthcare. Over the last 13 years, the Trust has grown to become one of the largest and highest-rated unlisted property funds in Australia. Currently, it owns a quality portfolio of 24 individual properties across four Australian states, characterised by leases that are typically longer than most in the commercial property sector.

2 01. An ageing population 02. Growing need for healthcare services 03. A long-term investment opportunity in healthcare property Australia is ageing The percentage of Australians aged over 65 is rapidly increasing, and by 2056 is expected to make up between 23 and 25 per cent of the population. 1 Today, the fastest growing demographic in the Australian population is the over 65s. We will require more healthcare services Expectations are, by 2050, Government spending will increase in today s terms by around $60 billion. Two thirds of this increase would be attributable to health, reflecting pressures from ageing, along with increasing demand for health services and funding of new technologies. 2 An ageing population is more than just a demographic trend an increasingly older population also places extra demands on health services. 3 The rationale for investing in healthcare property can be as simple or as complicated as you like. But any way you add it up, the combination of long-term leases, quality tenants, rising demand and quality assets has meant the healthcare property sector has been one of the standout performers in the commercial property sector over recent years. In April 2013 the Grattan Institute found, over the past decade, in real terms, Australian Commonwealth and State governments spent an additional $43 billion on health. This increase, in addition to an ageing population, was due to Australians of all ages seeing doctors more often, having more tests and operations, and taking more prescription drugs Population Projections, Australian Bureau of Statistics, July Intergenerational Report 2010, Treasury of Commonwealth of Australia, Australia s Health 2010, Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, Canberra, Budget pressures on Australian governments, John Daley, Grattan Institute, April 2013 The Valley Hospital, VIC 02.

3 Australian Unity Healthcare Property Trust The Trust is an unlisted property trust that invests in healthcare-related property assets with a primary focus on delivering regular income to its investors, as well as the opportunity for long-term capital growth. The Trust has a diversified tenant base and currently comprises a quality direct portfolio of 24 healthcare properties across Australia, which together with its other assets, are valued at $ million (31 March 2013). Healthcare property investment includes the ownership of the physical infrastructure supporting the Australian healthcare system, including the land, bricks and mortar of hospitals, medical clinics, nursing homes, day surgeries, consulting rooms, rehabilitation units, radiology and pathology centres. Importantly, while other investment and property sectors will experience the volatility of economic cycles, the demand for healthcare assets remains relatively steady. As a result, the Trust is an investment in a sector that is relatively immune to the impact of economic downturns. 170 years experience caring for Australians The Healthcare Property Trust brings together the Australian Unity Group s understanding of the healthcare sector as well as the investment management expertise and experience of our specialist property team. Australian Unity provides healthcare, financial planning, investment, and retirement living services to more than half a million Australians. Australian Unity s history as a trusted mutual organisation dates back 170 years. This combination means that we are uniquely qualified to manage healthcare property investments. Key benefits of the Trust Solid and reliable income paid quarterly. Potential for capital growth over the medium to long term. Access to a diverse range of 24 healthcare properties across four states VIC, NSW, SA and QLD. Flexibility to access your investment through a limited withdrawal facility. Committed, active management strategy. Our investment strategy Our investment decisions are premised on each asset s ability to deliver attractive returns, to increase the Trust s diversification and the asset s relative liquidity. We aim to achieve this by: acquiring healthcare or healthcare related properties that are leaders in their geographical area selectively developing suitable long-term expansion and/or improvement strategies for the properties ensuring diversification within the Trust, including by geographic location, property type and the type of healthcare services provided by each tenant building strong, secure relationships with tenants that have relevant experience and expertise in the healthcare sector, and seeking carefully structured, long-term leases, with the aim of providing stable and predictable rental income as well as rental growth over the long term. In addition, the Trust borrows to finance the purchase of new and existing assets and to develop and maintain its assets. It generally operates within a gearing ratio range of per cent, but may operate outside of this range if we believe it is in the interest of investors to do so. Who should invest in the Trust? This Trust is typically suited to investors who: seek regular income payments want a high degree of direct property exposure are looking to diversify their existing property portfolio, and have at least a five-year investment outlook.

5 A question of correlation healthcare property stands alone Correlation is a measure of how much something moves or reacts in relation to something else. When structuring a client s asset allocation it is important to consider how the performance of a particular investment correlates with (or against) both other investment markets and the broader industry in which it operates. In a nutshell, the healthcare property sector is different to other types of property investments. Research from IPD, in conjunction with the Property Council of Australia, has found that the healthcare property sector has the lowest correlations with other property sectors. This can make healthcare property a desirable addition to a diversified property portfolio. The chart from IPD research below shows the total return for quarterly periods from June 2005 to 31 December 2012 for five different property sectors, including Office, Retail, Industrial, Healthcare and All Property sectors. The impact of the global financial crisis on commercial property was striking. Certainly, healthcare property wasn t immune, but its impact was muted when compared to the other commercial property sectors. Reasons for the strength and stability of the healthcare property sector are that its properties are relatively scarce, the industry is highly regulated and its properties are typically leased for very long terms to large, stable and well-resourced operators. At some stage in their lives, practically every Australian will seek care at a hospital or medical centre. As well, over the past several decades, the number and proportion of the population aged 65 years and over has risen considerably. This will have the combined effect of increasing the burden on our health services because, as people get older, it is more likely they will need to seek healthcare services more often Sep-05 Dec-05 Mar-06 Jun-06 Sep-06 Dec-06 Mar-07 Jun-07 Sep-07 Dec-07 Mar-08 Jun-08 Sep-08 Dec-08 Mar-09 Jun-09 Sep-09 Dec-09 Mar-10 Jun-10 Sep-10 Dec-10 Mar-11 Jun-11 Sep-11 Dec-11 Mar-12 Jun-12 Sep-12 Dec All Property Index Retail Property Index Office Property Index Industrial Property Index Healthcare Property Index Source: IPD Research As you can see, there is a broad and generally strong correlation between four of the property sectors. However, the healthcare sector shows a relatively low correlation, highlighting its distinctive performance characteristics. Peninsula Private Hospital, VIC 04.
